La novela de Pita Amor A comienzos de 1920, Guadalupe, la hija menor de los Amor, una de las familias más prominentes del porfiriato, ve cómo las llamas de la Revolución no terminan de apagarse y consumen su herencia, obligándola a dejar lejos los lujos y la vida de refinamiento para la que la habían preparado. Desde entonces supo reconquistar a su modo lo que el destino le arrebató a su familia. Pita Amor, mujer de personalidad y pluma deslumbrante, estuvo marcada por el claroscuro de una existencia dividida entre la privación y la opulencia, enfrentó y rebasó los diques que pretendieron dominar su carne y su obra como poeta. Amiga e inspiración de grandes artistas, cautivó la imaginación de todos aquellos que la conocieron, forjando la leyenda de su nombre. Los demonios de mi cuerpo nos acerca al fuego de su figura y nos ofrece un retrato íntimo y por momentos perturbador de una mujer inigualable, indómita, mística y pecadora, al mismo tiempo que rescata una época que se desvaneció junto con el sueño de la incipiente burguesía mexicana de principios del siglo XX.

A Novel

A young girl flees Nazi-occupied Germany with her family and best friend, only to discover that the overseas refuge they had been promised is an illusion in this "powerful and affecting" (Kirkus Reviews) debut novel, perfect for fans of The Nightingale, All the Light We Cannot See, and Schindler's List. Before everything changed, young Hannah Rosenthal lived a charmed life. But now, in 1939, the streets of Berlin are draped with red, white, and black flags; her family's fine possessions are hauled away; and they are no longer welcome in the places that once felt like home. Hannah and her best friend, Leo Martin, make a pact: whatever the future has in store for them, they'll meet it together. Hope appears in the form of the S.S. St. Louis, a transatlantic liner offering Jews safe passage out of Germany. After a frantic search to obtain visas, the Rosenthals and the Martins depart on the luxurious ship bound for Havana. Life on board the St. Louis is like a surreal holiday for the refugees, with masquerade balls, exquisite meals, and polite, respectful service. But soon ominous rumors from Cuba undermine the passengers' fragile sense of safety. From one day to the next, impossible choices are offered, unthinkable sacrifices are made, and the ship that once was their salvation seems likely to become their doom. Seven decades later in New York City, on her twelfth birthday, Anna Rosen receives a strange package from an unknown relative in Cuba, her great-aunt Hannah. Its contents will inspire Anna and her mother to travel to Havana to learn the truth about their family's mysterious and tragic past, a quest that will help Anna understand her place and her purpose in the world. The German Girl sweeps from Berlin at the brink of the Second World War to Cuba on the cusp of revolution, to New York in the wake of September 11, before reaching its deeply moving conclusion in the tumult of present-day Havana. Based on a true story, this masterful novel gives voice to the joys and sorrows of generations of exiles, forever seeking a place called home.

Firsthand Accounts of Japan's Wartime Human Experimentation Program

This is a riveting and disturbing account of the medical atrocities performed in and around Japan during WWII. Some of the cruelest deeds of Japan's war in Asia did not occur on the battlefield, but in quiet, antiseptic medical wards in obscure parts of China. Far from front lines and prying eyes, Japanese doctors and their assistants subjected human guinea pigs to gruesome medical experiments in the name of science and Japan's wartime chemical and biological warfare research. Author Hal Gold draws upon a wealth of sources to construct a portrait of the Imperial Japanese Army's most notorious medical unit, giving an overview of its history and detailing its most shocking activities. The book presents the words of former unit members themselves, taken from remarks they made at a traveling Unit 731 exhibition held in Japan in 1994-95. They recount vivid first-hand memories of what it was like to take part in horrific experiments on men, women and children, their motivations and reasons why they chose to speak about their actions all these years later. A new foreword by historian Yuma Totani examines the actions of Unit 731, the post-war response by the Allies and the lasting importance of the book. Japan's Infamous Unit 731 represents an essential addition to the growing body of literature on the still unfolding story of some of the most infamous war crimes in modem military history. By showing how the ethics of normal men and women, and even an entire profession, can be warped by the fire of war, this important book offers a window on a time of human madness and the hope that history will not be repeated.

While vacationing in a hunting lodge in the Austrian mountains, a middle-aged woman awakens one morning to find herself separated from the rest of the world by an invisible wall. With a cat, a dog, and a cow as her sole companions, she learns how to survive and cope with her loneliness.



Allegorical yet deeply personal and absorbing, The Wall is at once a critique of modern civilization, a nuanced and loving portrait of a relationship between a woman and her animals, a thrilling survival story, a Cold War-era dystopian adventure, and a truly singular feminist classic.

How to Make Offers So Good People Feel Stupid Saying No

I took home more in a year than the CEOs of McDonalds, IKEA, Ford, Motorola, and Yahoo....combined....as a kid in my twenties....using the $100M Offer method. It works. And it will work for you. Not that long ago though, my business had gotten so bad that I literally couldn't even give my services away for free. At the end of each month, I would look at my bank account hoping to see progress (but there wasn't). I knew something had to change...but what? Over the 48 months, I went from losing money to making $36 for every $1 spent. In that time period, we generated over $120,000,000 across four different industries: service, e-commerce, software, and brick & mortar. But, unlike everyone else, we didn't have great funnels, great ads, or a wealthy niche. In fact, we didn't even send emails until we had crossed $50M in sales(!). Instead, we were able to do this one thing really well....we created offers so good, people felt stupid saying no. Here's exactly what this book will show you how to do: How To Charge A Lot More Than You Currently Are... How To Make Your Product So Good, Prospects Find A Way To Pay For It How To Enhance Your Offer So Much, Prospects Buy Without Hesitating And so much more... If you want to get more prospects to reply to your ads for less advertising dollars, and get them to say YES to breathtaking prices...then grab this book, use its contents, and see for yourself.
